The Face

Alya

The bowl in front of her annoyed Alya a lot. Cereal for breakfast. ' What a boring breakfast. Alya made a cute pouty face to Jane. Jane looked at her with a stern face. " No excuses you need to eat this for your strength."

Alya curved her lips down and stared at her breakfast bland white milk and yellow crispy cereal floating sluggishly on it no extra ingredients. Alya groaned she did not like it at all boring breakfast. " You are not living this house until you finish that Alya" Alya groaned and gulped down the cereal she forcefully gulps down the contents to quickly finish it before she stops. Jane has been strict on her diet since Alya had her last allergy attack. She has been strictly monitoring Alya's food intake down to every mole. It has been pretty boring and annoying for her. "Let’s finish you up then I won't admit defeat yet" Alya crazily told the cereal bowl and gulped down the cereal as fast as she could.

"Done!!"

She walked out grabbing her coat and boot. "Please be careful Alya hunny" her mother called out after her.

"Yes Ma." called out Alya on the way she left.

Alya stretched out and yawned 'Ah I feel like a rusted old machine.' She huffed and jogged towards the hospital. The sky became grey and snowy again. 'I feel good yeah hmm what to buy for the kids today? ' Alya thought.

After 1 hour..............

Alya and Brain sat with their coffee. Brian was getting ready to go the operation in a week. Alya thought of making his last few moments count in this place. It made her feel sad as she will miss Brian. He has become more friendly towards her. They have been spending more time together while helping the kids in the afternoon and morning coffee time. The more Alya think about Brian the more she leaves the thoughts of being a stubborn brat out of her system. Brian seems more friendly and caring. Brian has been apologizing to her a lot. Alya let it down a lot since it was her fault in the first place. And Brian did save her life.

She had a good time all these days talking to him and Ray sometimes joining them. Even Nurse Joan do not scold her much anymore. Brian does look more attractive now a days. ' Ahhhh what am I thinking ? stupid stupid stupid Alya' hit her head hard with her fist. He is too good looking, but she can’t afford to have thoughts as such for him.

"Alya can I ask for something ?" said Brian

" Hmm? What is it? Do you want me to get you something?"

"No, I want ..." before Brian could complete Alya went on asking " What do I get you? You want more coffee?" Alya jumped out of the bed and kept on asking Brian.............

Brian

Alya went on asking Brian could not see how to stop her. He chuckled at her childish words. "Alya please sit down I do not wish you to break of excitement" he said it out loud. Alya blushed she sat down "Okay let’s hear it" Brian smiled at her words.

He took big breath “Alya come close please”. Alya looked at Brian with questionable expression. " I do not understand Brian what I am supposed to do?" Brian sighed let go of his breathe. He sat up and stretched his hand he straightened his hand towards the last voice sound he heard Alya from. Alya looked at him yet not understanding what Brian was trying to do.

“Alya please come forward towards my hand.” Brian said again.

Brian let out another breathe it seemed a few moments gone. Everything felt warm and Brian could not understand what he was doing but he wanted to. For a long time, it was his desire. Since the first day he thought and tried to imagine drawing her in his mind. He tried to imagine various cuts works the slides the slant the glow the hair. Her full features and even to feel her blush Brian wanted to know everything about Alya. He let out another breathe.

"Alya Please come forward I ... I want to feel how you look like." said Brain.

Brian felt her breath go away she blew out a tiny air from her mouth. He realized she did not know if it was a good idea or not maybe she does not trust him enough. "Alya?" called Brian and he moved his hand forward anxious to meet her face. His hand shaken with anticipation.

Then he felt it soft and warm the fingers felt smoothness on the surface. That feeling grew he wanted to touch more and then his right hand felt it. The cheek of Alya, It is smooth and soft and tint of warm on the upper cheek. Brian smiled he felt her blush, he rubbed his thumb on her cheek and felt her nose the left side small bone structure short nose. Surely it is blunt nose. He reached up and felt her eyes he felt the eyelashes big yet not combed like using a mascara. The eyes seemed short and thinned at the corner. He became nervous and reached up to feel her more a few hair on the side. She is a big fore headed girl. She has a few small bumps here and there must be the pimple problem she complains so much about. His fingers moved up and felt a depth it was almost inside the hair small cut it felt like, but it was mostly covered. "Is that a scar?" He asked.

"Yes, I fell down while playing back in kinder-garden" replied Alya.

Brian felt the slow warm breath escape from her lips. It made him feel all warm. He touched the scar with his finger he felt all protective towards her. He wanted to touch more but was interrupted.

"Knock knock knock !!!"
